A 22-year-old College Station man is accused of stealing a "Jesus is My Best Friend Forever" T-shirt from a Walmart store, police said.

Payton Jack Pritchard was arrested on Tuesday and charged with theft of property ($50 to $500), court records show. He posted a $2,000 bond and was released the same day.

The suspect walked into the store at 1815 Brothers Ave. in College Station wearing a black FBI T-shirt and black shorts. Store employees spotted him placing items into a Walmart bag, according to College Station police.

The items included a bag of Lays Kettle Cooked potato chips, hotdog buns, a pair of $33 headphones, and the "Jesus is my BFF" T-shirt.

Loss prevention officers stopped Pritchard as he tried to walk out of the Walmart, police said. He was arrested and booked into the Brazos County Jail, where he spent about 2 hours before bonding out.
